Sometimes, the quietest voices write the loudest stories.
In the heart of a bustling city, tucked away behind the faded gold lettering of an old bookshop, Elira finds an unexpected escape: a letter hidden inside her favorite novel. What begins as a curious discovery soon turns into a secret exchange - pages of ink-stained thoughts from a stranger who sees her more clearly than anyone ever has.
She doesn't know who he is.
But he knows her - the girl who once gave him shelter from the rain, the one with a smile that made him believe in sunlight.
Asher has admired Elira from afar, always too quiet to say the words out loud. But through letters left between book spines, he finds the courage to speak. As the two pour their hearts onto paper, a gentle love blossoms - hidden in plain sight.
But when words finally run out, will they have the courage to speak face-to-face?

THE WAY WE BURN
"Don't make me sad, don't make me cry Sometimes love is not enough And the road gets tough, I don't know why" - 'Born To Die' by Lana Del Rey xxx In Shelley, nothing stays buried. Not secrets. Not betrayals. And definitely not the kind of love that ruins you. Aurora Rossi has spent years building walls strong enough to survive anything. Theo Williams is the one person who knows exactly how to tear them down. But when loyalty turns dangerous, friendships fracture, and the past comes back burning, they're forced to face a truth no one wants to admit: Some flames keep you warm. Others consume everything. And once you start to burn... there's no going back. xxx "I think you're going to have to ask me again," I murmured, tilting my chin up. "But like, really nicely this time." Theo blinked. "You're serious?" "Deadly." A second passed. Then another. I watched the way his tongue ran along the inside of his cheek, watched his hand flex like he was trying not to grab me too fast, too rough. And then, softer now-different-he said, "Rory." Just my name, but it held more weight than anything else. "Please, baby. Let me kiss you."

Unwritten Pages
I was never meant to stand out. Just a quiet guy in a crowded world-walking hallways, reading books I never cared about, watching people laugh from a distance. Then one day... she forgot her book in the library, Hana. She didn't say much. She never smiled. But for the first time, I saw someone who felt like a reflection of me - Alone. Detached. Tired. I don't know why I picked up her book, but I did. And that one, simple decision? It changed everything. This isn't some perfect love story. We didn't fall fast. We just... found each other-in the silence, in the grief, in the little moments most people overlook. This is about loneliness. About losing everything. About finding someone when you've stopped looking. And about learning to live, even when your days are numbered. This is our story. These are our... Unwritten Pages.Complete
Almond
"Some people teach you how to speak again. Others make you wish you'd stayed silent." _____ Almond A quiet love. A buried past. A story that will leave you aching. She doesn't talk much-not about the things that matter. Not about the names she still can't say aloud. Not about the night that changed everything. She just wants to breathe without breaking. To disappear into the background and not be noticed. But He notices her. Gentle where others push, patient where others pry-he doesn't ask her to open up. He just stays. And sometimes, that's louder than words. But love is never simple. And even the softest hearts have storms waiting inside them. "A soft love story wrapped in ache, healing, and unspoken words. Walk with me through the quiet chaos of two broken hearts trying to find their way. You won't regret it." -----
A Teenage Dream
PROGLOG Hyda never believed in soft love. Loud, messy, dramatic - that was her way of feeling everything. She's the troublemaker with a sharp tongue, a loyal heart, and a habit of crashing into things - bikes, friendships, people, and sometimes, her own reflection. Kabir is the kind of boy who watches more than he speaks. Head boy. Topper. Good on paper, hard to read in person. He doesn't chase noise. But when Hyda stumbles into his orbit - all fire, sarcasm, and bruised tenderness - something inside him shifts. They aren't meant to fit. But the silence between them? It starts to sound a lot like home. In a school full of secrets, pressure, and whispered reputations, Hyda and Kabir navigate glances that last too long, feelings they won't name, and a connection too intense to ignore. As friendships break, families interfere, and futures loom close, they'll have to decide what kind of love they believe in - the kind that stays hidden, or the kind that changes everything

Every Time You Looked Away
Scarlet Rogers never believed in second chances... not for love, and certainly not for the man who once broke her heart like it meant nothing. When her ex returns to their friend circle with a new girl on his arm and that same smirk on his face, Scarlet does the unthinkable. She kisses Asher Ellesmere. Quiet, unreadable Asher. The man who sketches the world in silence, speaks in shadows, and watches everything like it's a story worth telling. Their lips meet under the salty breeze of a beach bonfire, and just like that, a lie is born. They'll pretend. For a month-long holiday soaked in sun and wine, laughter and late-night swims, they'll hold hands, share blankets, and trade glances meant to burn. But somewhere between pretending to smile and actually meaning it, between stolen kisses meant for show and the soft way his fingers brush hers when no one's looking, Scarlet begins to wonder... What if this lie feels more like home than the truth ever did? As the days stretch and the waves keep time, hearts tangle in quiet moments. And by the time the ex starts to notice... Scarlet's not sure she even cares. Because Asher...soft-spoken Asher, who never asked her to fake anything...is starting to feel like the one thing she never knew she needed.Complete
